The Other Hendersons: One Generation Back
By Kerin

We have a full Family Outline for William Lee and Eleanor in the next section, but let's go back one generation to William Lee's parents. Several of these people are mentioned in this book, and I found myself referring to it frequently, so I thought it might help you, too. I filled this in from information I've collected on Ancestry.com. It is not thoroughly researched or fully verified. Use for general reference only, not for official research.
